$PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 393,685, dated November 27, 1888.

Application filed May 21, 1887. Serial No. 238,951. (No model.)

Patented in France December 14, 1882, No. 152,029 in England July 11, 1884, No. 10,049, andin Belgium September 26, 1884. No. 66,438.

To 0. whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, AUGUSTE BEssoN, of Paris, in the Republic of France, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stoves, (for which I have received Letters Patent in France dated December 14, 1882, No. 152,629; in Belgium September 26, 1884, No. 66,438, and in England July 11, 1884, No. 10,049,) which is fully set forth in the following specification.

My invention relates to magazine heatingstoves; and it consists in various features and details hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical central sectional view of my improved stove; Figs. 2 and 3, horizontal sectional views on the lines A B and O D, respectively; Figs. 4 to 7, detail views showing the manner in which the parts of the stove are connected; Fig. 8, a detail view of the joint between the lower end of the magazine and the fire-pot; Fig. 9, a detail view illustrating the construction of the axle or shaft carrying the stove-supporting wheels; Fig. 10, an enlarged vertical sectional view of the lower part of the stove; Fig. 11, an enlarged view of one of the lugs for supporting the horizontal and inclined grates; Fig. 12, a horizontal sectional view on the line E F, Fig. 11. 4

13 indicates the body or casing of the stove as a whole, and A A indicate upright heating about the fire-box 0 within the chamber B, which latter receives the products of combustion.

1 indicates the cappiate of the stove, provided on its under side with a groove to receive the upper edge of the casing B and an asbestus packing, a, as shown in Figs. 1 and 7. The plate I is provided with an opening having a depending mouth to receive the magazine G, and the plate is further provided with a series of conical or tapering holes to receive the upper ends of the tubes A, which latter are flared slightly to conform to the holes and hold themselves in place, as shown in Fig. 4:.

V indicates the base of the stove, which, as shown in Figs. 1 and 10, is divided into two compartments, T and U, the former adapted to receive and supply air to the tubes A at their lower ends, while the other is designed as an ash-pit. The top of the chamber or compartment T is covered by a plate, T, through which the lower ends of the tubes A pass, as shown in Fig. 6, and the said plate, which comprises three separate plates or sections, 13, j, and k, is provided with an elongated opening directly over the ash-pit 'U, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. Bolts h h, having conical heads, pass through the plates I and T and through a cross-bar, g, seated in a groove on the under face of the base V and there provided with nuts, as shown in Figs. 1 and 10. By drawing up the bolts the upper face of the plate T will be indented slightly, thereby nsuring a tight joint. The upper plate, i, 1s, comparatively speaking, thin,which fact,com bined with the elasticity of the interposed asbestus sheet 9', permits the indentation.

Surrounding the conical head of the bolts h It is a packing, a, of asbestus, which, as the nuts are tightened up, is compressed and the gases prevented from escaping. The intermediate plate, T, comprises a metallic plate, is, an asbestus sheet, 9', and a covering, i, of metal, as shown in Figs. 1, 6, and 10, the edges of the covering i being turned downward into the central elongated opening and protecting the edges of the asbestos and the plate 70.

That portion of the base V surrounding the triple plate T will be made separate from that part forming the ash-pit, so as to permit the insertion of the plate T, and when the parts are properly assembled and the nuts 011 the bolts h h turned up the upper part of the base V will make a tight joint with the plate T, and the escape of gases will be prevented.

The cap-plate is provided with a cornice, l, which receives the perforated plate, the cornice being secured to the cap plate by screws 12, as shown in Fig. 7.

The magazine G comprises two sections, H and J, the latter being flanged internally to support the former, and it will be noticed that the back or rear side of the lower section, J, extends downward below its front edge, as at 0, Figs. 1 and 10, which compels the distilled carburets to enter the ignited masses and be completely burned. This depending lip c is strengthened by vertical ribs w on its rear side, as shown.

0 indicates the fire pot or chamber, which,

as shown in Fig. 3, is J shaped in crosssection, the rear wall of the fire pot being situated between the rear wall of the magazine and the rear wall of the body of the stove, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 10, and 12. This arrangement forms a crescent-shaped opening, K, between the depending lip c of the magazine and the rear wall of the fire-pot, through which the products of combustion are caused to pass.

In order to prevent the warping ofthe firepot, it is provided on its rear face with webs or ribs L, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, l0, and 12.

The fire-pot rests upon the plate T, and is connected at its upper edge at one or more points to the lower edge of the magazine by means of rivets b, as shown in Fig. 8, the two parts being suitably flanged to afford a square bearing and prevent their disconnection.

Projecting inward from the fire pot, near its lower edge, are lugs d d d d, which are adapted to support the horizontal shakinggratc D and the inclined grate E, as clearly shown in Fig. 12. Two of the lugs, 11 and d, serve to support the inclined grate, which latter is also supported by or rests upon the front edge of the grate D.

The grate E inclines outward at its upper end and is held in place by a button, a, secured to the edge of the magazine, as shown in Figs. 1 and 10, and upon reference to these figures it will be noticed that the casing B is provided with a door, F, directly opposite the said inclined grateE. The lower inner edge of the door F terminates in an inclined flange, M, which serves to direct the ashes falling through the grate E into the ash-pit, and it will also be observed upon reference to Figs. 1, 3, and 10 that the inner face of the fire-pot G is provided with a similar flange, M.

Nindicates the ashpan, provided at its front edge with a lip or flange which is adapted to engage with either of two lugs, sand t, formed upon the base-plate of the stove, as shown in Figs. 1 and 10; and from this construction and arrangement it follows that by moving the ashpan in or out, so as to cause its front wall to prevent or admit the entrance of air into the ash-pit, the draft may be nicely regulated and controlled.

No claim is made herein to the fire-board, to the supporting-wheels, nor to the horizontal grate, as these features I intend to present in a separate application in accordance with an official requirement to that effect,

I am aware that it is not new to combine in a stove a horizontal and an inclined grate, and I do not wish to be understood as making any broad claim thereto.

I am further aware that cleaners have been applied to grates; but I am not aware that any one has ever before provided a grate with a removable shaker-bar adapted to act as a part of the grate or as one of the grate-bars.

Having thus described myiuvention, what I claim is 1. In a magazine-stove, the combination, with the body B, of a top plate, I, separate therefrom, a base, V, also separate from the body and divided into two compartments, T and U, a magazine, G, a grate, a fire-pot, G, and tubes A, suspended from the top plate, I, and passing freely through the intermediate plate, T, of the base, substantially as shown.

2. In a Steve, the combination,\vith the body B, having a top plate, I, and a base, V, of an intermediate plate, T, having a somewhat elastic upper face, air-tubes A, passing through the plates I and T, and bolt-s h h, connecting the base with the top plate.

3. In a stove, the combination, with a body, B, and a grate, of a top plate, I, a base, V, a plate, T, between the base and the top plate, comprising metallic plates 1 and It and interposed asbestus sheet j, and tubes A, passing through the plates I and T.

4. In combination with a body, I a capplate, I, a base, V, an intermediate plate, T, tubes A, passing through the plateT and having their upper ends made conical to fit corresponding openings in the plate I, and bolts h h',connecting the cap-plate with the base and provided with conical heads and asbestus packing-rings a, all substantially as shown.

5. In a stove substantially such as shown, the combination, with the body, of a magazine, a fire-pot provided with a horizontal grate, and an inclined grate terminating at its lower edge at the horizontal grate and supported at its upper edge by the magazine.

6. In a stove substantially such as shown, the combination, with the body 13, having a door, F, in its front wall, of a fire-pot, horizontal grate D, inclined grate E, arranged directly opposite the door F, a magazine located above the grates, and a button, a, secured to the magazine and serving to support the upper end of the inclined grate, as and for the purpose set forth.

7. In a stove substantially such as shown, the combination, with the body B, of a firepot provided with inwardly-projecting lugs, a grate, D, resting upon said lugs, and an inclined grate, E, resting upon the said lugs and upon the grate D.

8. In a stove substantially such as shown, the combination, with the base-plate having the lugs s t, of an ash-pan, N, adapted to engage with either of said lugs at will, whereby the said ash-pan is adapted to serve also as a damper.

In testimony'whcrcof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

AUGUSTE BESSON.
